Let Pets Choose the Best Hotels in Taiwan! Win 10 Nights of Free Accommodation for the "Best Member"

The Yunpin Hot Spring Hotel offers a unique experience for travelers with pets. Guests are only required to bring their own cat or dog food to allow their furry friends to stay in the pet-friendly accommodations, receiving five-star treatment during their visit. Recent online surveys indicate a significant increase in the demand for "pet-friendly hotels," with search volumes tripling over the past six months. A primary driver behind this trend is the rise of "separation anxiety" among pets.

In response to this growing need, Hotels.com has launched the "Animal Star Praise Team" initiative, led by the concierge ambassador BellpugTM. This program invites pets to participate in evaluating hotels, with a chance to win ten nights of free accommodation. The pandemic has resulted in many people spending more time at home, leading to heightened concerns about their pets' separation anxiety. Many pet owners find it challenging to travel freely due to worries about their beloved companions being left behind.

Survey Insights on Pet Separation Anxiety

A recent "Pet Travel Survey" conducted by Hotels.com revealed that nearly half (44%) of pet owners feel increased anxiety about being separated from their pets since domestic travel restrictions were lifted. This has contributed to a threefold increase in searches for "pet-friendly hotels." The survey also showed that over half (54%) of respondents prefer to travel with their pets, citing two main reasons: concern for their pet's well-being when apart (50%) and missing them excessively (49%). Some participants even mentioned that traveling with pets is more enjoyable and can lead to new friendships.

Joining the Animal Star Praise Team

The recruitment for the "Animal Star Praise Team" has officially begun, inviting pets to help rate the best pet-friendly hotels across the country. BellpugTM will select a new group of team members to assist in evaluating accommodations worldwide. Lucky pets may earn the title of "Best Team Member" and win ten nights of free lodging.
